Good Sunday morning everyone! I have made a few changes to the blog. I am going to try place the weather tracking tools at the bottom three quarters of the page. The top quarter of the page will be my current thoughts and comments concerning what I am seeing on the models and the latest data.

Showers and thunderstorms will push through the region today. We are not anticipating any severe thunderstorms. We will see a widespread rainfall of 0.40"-0.80". There will be pockets of greater than 1" of rain, as well.

Your storm tracking tools are below - radar and other.

Rain will come to an end tonight (Sunday night).

Monday will bring partly sunny sky conditions with temperatures into the 50s. Not bad for February.

A winter storm will develop on Tuesday night/Wednesday across the central and southern United States. This system will spread rain and snow into parts of the Midwest and Mississippi/Tennessee River Valleys. Stay tuned as I fine tune the exact track of this system.

A very active pattern will develop over the coming 2-4 weeks. Multiple storm systems are possible in a fast jet stream pattern. Monitor updates as we move forward. The pattern is loaded for some big events in the United States. Storm tracks will have to be determined as we deal with each system.

Pattern should be interesting for the U.S. over the coming weeks. Lot of jet stream energy.

If you are a weather enthusiast then I recommend listening to WeatherBrains each week! For a more in-depth look at what is happening in meteorology.

Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event. I recommend the Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
